Improved Graphite Fiber Adhesion.

Abstract

Several different commercial graphite fibers were characterized as to surface chemistry by XPS analysis, radiotracer analysis, thermal desorption/mass spectrometry, and surface energetics via contact angle measurements. These fibers were then treated by selective oxidation and devolatilization. Various interphase resins were then electrodeposited on the fibers. Composites were made from three matrix resins using the electrodeposited fibers and tested before and after exposure to moisture aging. No improvement in shear strength due to the electrodeposited interphase resins was noted. (Author)
